CE Nested on ESXi Disk Descriptor | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content
Hey all,

Does anyone have, by any chance, a disk descriptor file for the new CE image file? I am installing CE as a single node and when performing the upgrade by uploading the binaries it fails constantly. Most likely due to NTP restrictions because my lab admin has NTP blocked on this network. I also don't have access to VMFS on the hosts to make a descriptor file. Hopefully someone out there has one similar to the last version.



Thanks
In case anyone else comes across this thread while looking for ce-2019.02.11-stable here's what I used for mine on esxi 6.7.0u3:



code:
# Disk DescriptorFile
version=1
encoding="UTF-8"
CID=bdbb27c4
parentCID=ffffffff
createType="vmfs"


# Extent description
RW 14540800 VMFS "ce-2019.02.11-stable-flat.vmdk"


# The Disk Data Base
